    Robin Peterson claimed three early wickets to help South Africa thrash Bangladesh by an innings and 205 runs in the second and final Test yesterday.

    Bangladesh were dismissed for 119 in their second innings after little more than an hour's play on the fourth day, chasing a massive victory target of 583 set by South Africa in their first innings.

    The home team were forced to follow on after they managed to amass just 259 in reply in their first innings.

    Peterson dismissed wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim for four after he failed to add to his overnight score when he resumed the day with Abdur Razzak, who was unbeaten on 32 at the end of the match.

    The slow left-arm bowler also claimed veteran Mohammad Rafique for a duck and Shahadat Hossain for 24.

    Fast bowler Morne Morkel dismissed Mashrafe bin Mortaza for four to end the game as Aftab Ahmed did not return to crease after he was hit by a delivery from paceman Dale Steyn on Sunday.

    South Africa clinched the two match series 2-0 after winning the opening Test by five wickets.
